畢業典禮英語演講稿 篇1

i am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. i never graduated from college. truth be told, this is the closest i've ever gotten to a college graduation.

today i want to tell you three stories from my life. that's it. no big deal. just three stories.

the first story is about connecting the dots.

i dropped out of reed college after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before i really quit. so why did i drop out?

it started before i was born. my biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. she felt very strongly that i should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. except that when i popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. so my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "we have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" they said: "of course." my biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. she refused to sign the final adoption papers. she only relented a few months later when my parents promised that i would someday go to college.

and 17 years later i did go to college. but i naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. after six months, i couldn't see the value in it. i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. and here i was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. so i decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out ok. it was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions i ever made. the minute i dropped out i could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

it wasn't all romantic. i didn't have a dorm room, so i slept on the floor in friends' rooms, i returned coke bottles for the 5 deposits to buy food with, and i would walk the 7 miles across town every sunday night to get one good meal a week at the hare krishna temple. i loved it. and much of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. let me give you one example: reed college at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. because i had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, i decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. i learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. it was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and i found it fascinating.

none of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. but ten years later, when we were designing the first macintosh computer, it all came back to me. and we designed it all into the mac. it was the first computer with beautiful typography. if i had never dropped in on that single course in college, the mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. and since windows just copied the mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. if i had never dropped out, i would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when i was in college. but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. you have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

my second story is about love and loss.

i was lucky – i found what i loved to do early in life. woz and i started apple in my parents garage when i was 20. we worked hard, and in 10 years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. we had just released our finest creation - the macintosh - a year earlier, and i had just turned 30. and then i got fired. how can you get fired from a company you started?

well, as apple grew we hired someone who i thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. but then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. when we did, our board of directors sided with him. so at 30 i was out. and very publicly out. what had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

i really didn't know what to do for a few months. i felt that i had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that i had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. i met with david packard and bob noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. i was a very public failure, and i even thought about running away from the valley. but something slowly began to dawn on me – i still loved what i did. the turn of events at apple had not changed that one bit. i had been rejected, but i was still in love. and so i decided to start over.

i didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. it freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

during the next five years, i started a company named next, another company named pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.

pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. in a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, i retuned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of apple's current renaissance. and laurene and i have a wonderful family together.

i'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if i hadn't been fired from apple. it was awful tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed it.

sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. don't lose faith. i'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did.

you've got to find what you love. and that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. if you haven't found it yet, keep looking. don't settle. as with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. and, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. so keep looking until you find it. don't settle.

my third story is about death.

when i was 17, i read a quote that went something like: "if you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." it made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, i have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "if today were the last day of。

Distinguished leaders, parents and dear students,

Good morning! I am so excited to stand here, as a representative of the whole G12 students’ parents to make a brief speech to show our greatest honor and respect to the school leaders and teachers who work for our sons and daughters in the past three years. Thank you for your hard work.

畢業典禮英語演講稿 篇3

Today, I speak from this podium a final time as your president. As I depart, I want to thank all of you - students, faculty, alumni and staff - with whom I have been privileged to work over these past years. Some of us have had our disagreements, but I know that which unites us transcends that which divides us. I leave with a full heart, grateful for the opportunity I have had to lead this remarkable institution.

今天，我將以校長的身份，最後一次在這個講臺上演講。即將離任前，我要感謝諸位學生、教師、校友和員工，而且非常榮幸在過去的5年裏能與你們共事。我們中的一些人意見不盡相同， 但是，我知道，我們的共識遠遠超越分歧。我心滿意足的離開哈佛，感激你們給我機會領導這所傑出的學府。

Since I delivered my inaugural address, 56 months ago, I have learned an enormous amount—about higher education, about leadership, and also about myself. Some things look different to me than they did five years ago. The world that today’s Harvard’s graduates are entering is a profoundly different one than the world administrators entered.

自從56個月前我發表上任講話以來，我學到了很多——關於高等教育，關於領導藝術，也關於自我完善。在我看來，現在與5年前不同了。今天的哈佛畢業生正在進入的世界和管理人員當年所進入的世界相比已是大相徑庭了。

It is a world where opportunities have never been greater for those who know how to teach children to read, or those who know how to distribute financial risk; never greater for those who understand the cell and the pixel; never greater for those who can master, and navigate between, legal codes, faith traditions, computer platforms, political viewpoints.

現今世界，機遇對於這些人來說是空前的：他們知道如何教子女閱讀;他們知道如何組合投資;他們懂得基本存儲單元和像素概念;他們能掌握各種法典、傳統信仰、計算機平臺、政治觀點並在其中游刃有餘。

It is also a world where some are left further and further behind - those who are not educated, those trapped in poverty and violence, those for whom equal opportunity is just a hollow phrase.

同時，現今世界，一些人越來越落後於時代。這些人沒受過教育、深陷於貧窮和暴力、平等機遇對他們而言，僅是一句空話。

Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life.

科技進步正在使我們能夠探索宇宙的邊陲、物質最基本的成分及生命的奇蹟。

At the same time, today, the actions, and inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet.

與此同時，今天，人類所做的及沒能做到的事情，不僅危害到這個星球上的生命，也危害到該星球的壽命。

Globalization is making the world smaller, faster and richer. Still, 9/11, avian flu, and Iran remind us that a smaller, faster world is not necessarily a safer world.

全球化正在使地球變得愈來愈小、愈來愈快和愈來愈富有。儘管如此，9/11、禽流感及伊朗提醒我們，更小更快的世界決不意味着其更安全。

Our world is bursting with knowledge - but desperately in need of wisdom. Now, when sound bites are getting shorter, when instant messages crowd out essays, and when individual lives grow more frenzied, college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs.

我們正處於一個知識爆炸的世界之中，不過，迫切需要智慧。現在，在原聲摘要播出變得愈來愈短，即時信息淘汰了雜記文，個人生活變得如癡如狂之際，這個世界還是需要能夠深思的大學生。

For all these reasons I believed - and I believe even more strongly today - in the unique and irreplaceable mission of universities.

考慮到這些理由，我過去信仰，而今天甚至更加強烈地信仰大學獨特的、無可取代的使命。

Universities are where the wisdom we cannot afford to lose is preserved from generation to generation. Among all human institutions, universities can look beyond present norms to future possibilities, can look through current considerations to emergent opportunities.

大學是人類把不可或缺的智慧世代流傳的殿堂。就人類所有公共機構而言，僅僅大學，能夠超越當前的準則，注意到未來的可能性;能通過目前的判斷，注意到突發的機遇。

And among universities, Harvard stands out. With its great tradition, its iconic reputation, its remarkable network of 300,000 alumni, Harvard has never had as much potential as it does now.

哈佛在大學中間，鶴立雞羣。憑其偉大的傳統、因襲聲譽及其非凡的300000校友網，哈佛的潛力前所未有。

And yet, great and proud institutions, like great and proud nations at their peak, must surmount a very real risk: that the very strength of their traditions will lead to caution, to an inward focus on prerogative and to a complacency that lets the world pass them by.

可是，就像偉大和自豪的國家在其鼎盛時期一樣，它們必須克服一個完全不能掉以輕心的危險因素：它們傳統的絕對強勢將會導致謹小慎微、追求內部特權及自滿，這將使它們不能與時俱進。

And so I say to you that our University today is at an inflection point in its history. At such a moment, there is temptation to elevate comfort and consensus over progress and clear direction, but this would be a mistake. The University’s matchless resources - human, physical, financial - demand that we seize this moment with vision and boldness. To do otherwise would be a lost opportunity. We can spur great deeds that history will mark decades and even centuries from now. If Harvard can find the courage to change itself, it can change the world.

今天，哈佛正處於其歷史的轉折點。此時此刻的自然傾向是，把貪圖舒適和隨波逐流留凌駕於進步和方向性之上，但，這可能是錯誤的。大學無與倫比的資源 ——人力、物力、財力——要求我們遠見卓識和勇敢地抓住這個時機，否則，將會坐失良機。我們能推動將會被歷史永世銘記的偉大的事業。如果哈佛能找到勇氣來改變自己，它就能改變世界。

畢業典禮英語演講稿 篇4

In this glorious summer, we will say goodbye! Who have experienced life in high school people would say, three years of high school time is very impressive, very profound. This is not only due to the tension of living under high pressure; Chengshan the pile, the examination paper to fly sky; and when the results fall the tears flow and the development plan. Life in the future, we will be thinking slowly, slowly tastes will appreciate the deep spiritual growth of high school three years away, will always cherish the memory of his life the first time all the hard work!

As your teacher, over the past three years, we have day and night together, together we have the honor to accompany you through life's most beautiful season of youth. We are willing to remember each bright smiling faces and those flowery sun everywhere, in the early morning Shusheng Lang. In this three-year period, we can not give you more things, only doing all, tomorrow you sail for the voyage helped. In the meantime, the harsh criticism and the harsh requirements of hard training, you may be hard to accept once, but we believe that everyone can understand, because as a teacher he has done everything for their own students to do something , in order of their outstanding students.

Today, we are here the successful completion of the studies, however, the long road of life, and did not know the road to poverty. Secondary education is only the starting point in life, it only teaches you the basis of general knowledge and basic skills. Tomorrow, you will enter the new schools, more beautiful on the knowledge of waiting for you to capture, but also the vast ocean of knowledge awaiting you to travel, but also broad knowledge of the fertile soil in the waiting for you to work, more rugged knowledge of the risk in waiting for passers-by you to conquer!

Therefore, today's graduation is not only a summary of yesterday, it is the call for tomorrow is all your teachers and friends for your campaign and bolstering departure tomorrow! The journey of the future, accompanied by flowers and thorns, with setbacks and success; I speak on behalf of the graduating class of all teachers, most would like to say is:

Each person's lifetime can not be winners, General, it is impossible not to encounter setbacks and difficulties that, a critical moment should be to muster the courage to face the grim reality of courage. Said a war hero saying: on the battlefield, even if I fall, I have looked at the front of the eyes. So today, I do not wish you every success in the future; I wish you even after the fall of 9999 times, 9999 times still stand up!

在這燦爛的夏季，我們就要說再見了!凡經歷過高中生活的人都會說，高中三年的時光很難忘，很深刻。這不僅僅是由於那高壓下緊張的生活;那摞成山、飛滿天的卷子;和那成績跌落時流過的淚和制定的計劃。在以後的生活中，大家會慢慢思考，慢慢品味，會深刻的體會到高中三年成長的心靈路程，會永遠懷念自己在人生道路上第一次全力以赴的拼搏!

作爲你們的老師，三年來，我們朝夕相伴，我們有幸陪大家一同走過了你們生命中最亮麗的青春花季。我們願意記住每一張燦爛如花的笑臉和那些陽光遍地、書聲朗朗的清晨。在這三年的時間裏，我們無法給予你們更多的東西，只能傾其所有，爲你們明天的揚帆遠航推波助瀾。在此期間，嚴厲的批評，苛刻的要求，艱苦的訓練，或許曾令你們難以接受，但我們相信大家能夠理解，因爲作爲一名老師他所做的一切，都是爲了自己的學生能夠有所作爲，爲了自己的學生能出類拔萃。

今天，大家在這裏圓滿的完成了學業，但，人生之路漫長，求識之路未窮。中學教育還只是人生的起跑點，它才教給你們一般的基礎知識和基本技能。明天，你們將跨入新的學校，更美麗的知識之花在等待着你們去擷取，更浩瀚的知識海洋在等待着你們去遨遊，更寬闊的知識沃土在等待着你們去耕耘，更崎嶇的知識險途在等待着你們去征服!

因此，今天的畢業不僅是對昨天的總結，更是對明天的呼喚，是你們的所有師長和朋友爲你們明日的出征而壯行!未來的征途上，鮮花與荊棘相伴，挫折與成功同在;我代表畢業班的所有老師，最想對大家說的是：

每個人的一輩子都不可能是常勝將軍，不可能不遇到一點挫折和困難，關鍵時刻應鼓起敢於面對嚴峻現實的勇氣。一位戰鬥英雄說過這樣一句話：在戰場上，即使我倒下去了，我的目光也要看着前面。因此，今天，我不祝你們的未來一帆風順;我祝你們即使九千九百九十九次的跌倒之後，仍舊九千九百九十九次的站起來!

老師們、同學們：

大家好!

七月的校園，熱情似火。今天，伴隨着成長的喜悅，收穫的激動，我們歡聚這裏，隆重舉行畢業典禮。請允許我代表學校向經過三年努力學習，圓滿完成學業的你們表示最熱烈的祝賀，向辛勤培育同學們健康成長的老師們和默默服務、忘我工作的教職員工緻以最崇高的敬意!

三年前，你們懷揣理想和希望，邁入職校，開始了人生美好而又難忘的一段旅程。三年來，你們執着地追求，辛勤地付出，頑強地拼搏，真誠地交際，快樂地生活，爲成功的人生奠定了基礎。回首往昔，歷歷在目。軍訓，你們隊伍整齊，英姿颯爽;比賽，你們激烈角逐，吶喊助威;演講，你們慷慨激昂，妙語連珠;匯演，你們歌聲飛揚，舞姿婆娑。校園處處都留下了你們奮鬥、成長的足跡。點點滴滴的三年，如一串串珍珠項鍊，熠熠閃光。它將成爲你們人生一段最難忘的經歷，一筆最寶貴的財富，一座最重要的里程碑。面對你們的成長，老師從心裏爲你們高興，家長從心裏爲你們驕傲，領導從心裏爲你們喝彩!而你們也將伴隨着母校成長的歷程，定格在母校驕傲與自豪的發展史上!

參加今天畢業典禮的還有和同學們一起奮戰了三年的老師們。三年的相處，使你們與老師之間產生了一股濃濃的師生情。老師們在給予你們知識與能力、教給你們人生哲學的同時，也把他們一顆顆無

私的愛心獻給了你們，給你們帶來了無微不至的關懷。是他們，每天到班上無微不至地關心每個同學;是他們，在同學們學習上遇到困難、生活中遇到挫折時找你們傾心長談，引導你們渡過人生中一個又一個險灘。在此，讓我們用最熱烈的掌聲再次向所有爲同學們辛勤耕耘，嘔心瀝血的老師們表示最衷心的感謝。

同學們，完成中專的學業，僅僅是人生的一小步，今後的人生道路依然漫長而艱苦。我希望你們在今後的學習、工作中繼續發揚“立德求知健身創業”的東職精神，在生活中做一個強者!總有一天，東職會以你們爲榮，我相信，這是你們共同的心聲。

同學們，你們要離開生活了三年的母校了，作爲一個長者，我把我近五十年的經歷所得送給你們：

開闊心胸，志存高遠。一個優秀的人才，首先具備高尚的品格，這是融入社會成就事業的基礎。希望同學們要有開闊的心胸，堅強的意志，要志存高遠。不斷塑造和完善自己的人格，以積極豁達的人生態度在各自的崗位上，實現自己的理想。

開拓進取，勇於創新。作爲一箇中職生，基本具備企業生產的技術素質，要想有更大的發展，必須加強學習，在工作中探索新的知識，獲得能適應現代社會需要的高技能。同學們要甘於從基層做起，把所學知識和實踐結合起來，以踏實的工作，不懈的努力，在工作中創新，使自己成爲企業、社會拔尖人才。

正視挫折，勇於挑戰。人生的道路沒有坦途，未來充滿各種困難和挫折。離開學校，步入社會，同學們會感到工作、事業、家庭的壓力。面對困難、壓力，甚至挫折，你們一定要以平常心對待，困難一定會解決的，因爲，我相信辦法總比困難多!當然，你們一定要注意培養自己積極健康的情緒，提升心理素質，坦然面對工作和生活中的苦與樂。

相信同學們已讀過《職校優秀畢業生事蹟》一書，那些取得成績，獲得成功的人，跟你們一樣也是一箇中職生。可是，他們胸懷大志，敢於面對挫折，在工作中精益求精，勇於創新，爲自己創造成功的機會，最終成就了自己，獲得了社會的認可和尊重。我相信，你們踏入社會後，會取得同樣的成就!

同學們，你們已整裝待發，即將踏上新的征途了，在此，我代表母校，代表母校的全體老師深深地祝福大家。我們真誠地盼望着在不久的將來，能聽到在座的同學們將成功的喜訊傳回母校!

謝謝大家。
